Left Hand Conditioning  Five printable worksheets. Complete program to eliminate tension in your fretting hand. Still exercises help you learn chords and scales much more quickly. A very important first step. Tension in the left hand is the main reason people quit - don't be a statistic.

How To Find The Right Guitar For You  A couple of things to think about before you buy your first guitar. Preferred brands of beginners guitars, how much to spend, new or used, and more.

Electric Or Acoustic
The most basic decision you have to make when you buy a guitar. Reasons for buying one or the other. Most people are happier with an electric, unless you specifically like acoustic music. Cost relative to quality is about the same.

Notes and Scales   A short explanation of notes, and how they relate to scales, scale shapes, letter names and the 'number system.'

Open Chord Diagrams Large diagrams show how to play the 14 most common open chords. Practice the positions for a few weeks first, don't worry about the sound at first.
